What I don't understand with Gmail is the inconsistency - if you delete a mail in the web interface it is given a label of [Gmail]/Trash and so appears in the Trash folder, but if you delete the mail through IMAP, it has all its labels removed and is only visible in All Mail. Why can't Gmail just set the correct label on an IMAP delete and then expose that label within IMAP as the deleted flag. The really stupid thing is that Gmail is in effect based around virtual folders and labels - in exactly the same way that Evo does things, but Gmails implementation of IMAP just gets in the way.
